  • The best way to analyze your google SEO.
  • It helps to find who is linking to your site.
  • The way it shows your sites is a bit confusing. It shows your URL as different sites for "HTTP" and https" It should consider that the same site.
  • This tool could easily be combined with Google Analytics. Currently, it just adds another step to the SEO process.

  • Allows you to directly submit a sitemap to Google for crawling.
  • Shows common search queries used to access site.
  • Recrawling of pages that have suggested improvements is very slow
  • Disavowing non-existent URLS doesn't remove them from the error report

  • The "new" SC's Overview is great for sharing with clients as it's a simplified presentation of different data with graphs.
  • Performance is my turf. It is designed for me at a glance to recognize the peaks and valleys of traffic. Clicks v. Impressions remains something central to SEO and other marketing efforts.
  • This is surely subjective, but as long as I could, I used the old SC but now that I am forced to just use the new, there still is a bit of a learning curve. Again, this is not a fair complaint as in time all will be forgotten, but I really do miss the old version.
  • One thing I do not like is the loss of the Manual URL Submission. I understand why it's been removed, but sometimes I am doing refreshes of pages and want that new version visited and reindexed ASAP rather than have to wait for Google to revisit.

  • It also displays errors that are preventing your site pages to get indexed in Google.
  • You get a list of all the keywords for which your site is ranking.

  • Sometimes, the average position it shows for a particular webpage is not that accurate.
  • Understanding issues depicted by search console can be difficult at times as they are very technical.
  • It doesn't accept HTML sitemaps.

  • Detailed insights on search query help us to identify areas of opportunity for clients.
  • Great user interface makes working with GSC a breeze to learn.
  • Ability to access discontinued tools allows us to use GSC our way, even when it's not necessarily what the devs intended.
  • Some specific components can require more in-depth knowledge than may be expected by the average GSC user.

  • Reporting on Search Performance: monitor, track and research your organic performance over time or compare time frames.
  • Meta Data Testing and monitoring: make sure your product, events, AMP, and other meta tags are properly configured.
  • Monitoring Security and Manual Actions: ensure that Google is not reducing your ranking for security issues or SEO errors.
  • Producing suggestions for SEO improvements: Search Console provides links to resources to help improve the way Google crawls, indexes, and shows your website in search results.
  • Reporting is strong, but could benefit from some additional functionality, such as sorting by % changed.
  • Some functionality is lost in the "New" Search Console, forcing you to revert to the old version to get things done.
  • Because the "Old" version doesn't have the same functions as the "New" one, you're forced to switch back and forth between both platforms to get many things accomplished.
  • Many of the "Warnings" and Suggestions aren't very clear on how to fix the issue, or are vague in their explanation of what is wrong.

  • Keeping track of mishappenings on site related to indexing.
  • Tips and suggestions help improving cross-device visibility.
  • Vital information columns like competition/CPC goes missing in some properties without notice.
